Quito legjobb látnivalói

Quito Essentials

Quito's historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site, preserves colonial architecture across its high-altitude landscape. The city features the gold-leafed interiors of the Church of La Compañía and the Neo-Gothic spires of the Basilica of the National Vow. Visitors can explore the seat of government at Carondelet Palace, browse local textiles at the Mariscal Craft Market, and view the city from the 4,000-meter heights of the TelefériQo or the iconic Virgin statue atop El Panecillo hill.
